Default X-pipe smell??

Just installed my pypes catted X-pipe (paired up with my SLP LM1s) and it sounds AMAZING!!!!
Also, I ordered from RPM Outlet and got it for $260 shipped--no problems at all, even though several people have had complaints about them in the past..

Quick question though...I noticed a strange smell coming from the exhaust that wasnt there when I had my stock H pipe...will this go away? I thought it would only smell with an O/R pipe?

All new exhaust systems smell for a while, it's the manufacturing oils and other stuff burning off...[/align][/align]
